Package-Rolls of Metallic Lea of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to acka e-rolls, of metallic leaf from which t esaid metallic leaf is to be unwound as required and applied to a surfacewhich is to be decorated, and in the manufacture of such package-rollsfor containing a fillet of old-leaf it is desirable to wind a strip of t'n tissue-paper in contact with the said leaf as its supporting medium,since a fillet of gold-leaf tends to adhere to the surface of such astrip with the required degree of tenacity to insure its ackage rollwithout liability of injury or displacement; but such I a strip oftissue tpaper when used alone may represents an, enlarged side view 0 abe too weak for rcible unwinding in rolls of narrow width. I thereforeemploy a supplementary strip of paper as a backing for the said tissuestrip with which the fillet of goldleaf is wound into the package-roll.

In the accompanying drawings, Fi ure 1 is ar tially-unwound package-rollof metallic eaf embodying my improvement, the spiral windtion involvedin the invention. Fi 2 represents an axial section of the pacl rageaollshown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 represents an edge view of the ackage-roll and aface view of the unwoun portion of the fillet of metallic leaf and thepaper strip In the drawings, represents, the core upon which thetissue-paper strip a and the separate and distinct backing-strip b arewound in connection'with the fillet of metallic leaf 0, the said filletbeing represented in the drawings by a dotted line and the backing-stripb represented by a heavier line than that of the tissue strip a, whichlatter when unwound from the package-roll will lie between thesaid'fillet of metallic leaf 0 and the backin strip 1). The backing-strip 1) may be made of the same quality of material as that of thestri a or it may be made of heavier meteria ,and the outer side of thesaid backing-strip may, if required, be sli htly powdered in order torevent the adherence of the metallic leaf t .ereto when the package-rollis being unwound if in any case there should be a tendency to suchadherence.

In the manufacture of package-rolls embodying this invention the stripsof paper employed for aking the preliminary roll may be drawn fromseparate s ools and the sheets of metallic leaf deposite upon the upperstrip and wound with both strips into a roll, and when the proper numberof lapped sheets of metallic leaf have been wound up in the preliminaryroll the said preliminary roll is to be divided transversely by means ofa suitable cutter into rolls of the re uired width for use, and. in thiscase the et of metallic leaf'and the accompanying paper of tissue-paper,having a supple-
